The mechanism is similar to the one adopted to protect user Internet activities, the traffic is routed through the Tor Network making impossible to intercept it. Tor Messenger integrates the " Off-the-Record" (OTR) Messaging that allows private conversations over instant messaging by encrypting messages and then routing them over the Tor network. The experts at the Tor Project explained that the newborn Tor Messenger app encrypts the content of instant messages, making impossible eavesdropping of conversation and identifying the interlocutors. The messenger has been designed with privacy by design, but with a great care for its usability.
